Shapes

Last night I wrote a standardized shape baseclass with the important draw() and clone() abstracts and some handling of size/color/line etc, and then moved all my shape scraps to this.
Here is a Gear class which is derives from Star.. and a ShapeParticleEmitter that emits shapes by using their clone(). The joy of this is that you can change the "prototype" object at will and the next particle emitted will be a clone of it in its current state.

I realize there are better Shape libraries out there already (hell there are better Timeline libs out there than mine), but I like the joy of making it and of making it how I invision (plus being able to optimize it).

While digging around looking at flash stuff I found two amazing sites:
